Reviews from IA&B Agency Members

“The program utilized a white board program called Miro, which I really liked. Beyond the course, we can continue to utilize the Miro board. I really enjoyed that because there were great topics discussed as well as resources that we can refer to over time. Kudos to the instructors – they were phenomenal! They kept the class timely and entertaining!”

Taylor Gallagher, Independent Insurance Agent, PA

“LEAD was fantastic! The mix of leaders from different positions and experience levels really enriched the discussions. We also used a Miro board for collaboration, which I found to be an effective tool for real-time contributions. The variety of topics we covered, along with the group discussions, provided practical solutions that I’ve already begun applying in my leadership role.”
